American Old Time Song Lyrics: 22 The Villain Never Harmed Her
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 22
The Villain Never Harmed Her.
Written and sung by Sam Devere.
A maiden resolved to pack her trunk,
But the villain never harmed her;
She looked like a number 9 mackerel shrunk,
And the villain never harmed her.
Her wealth was immense, and her wardrobe large.
With a hair-pin her loving father armed her;
She had a couple o' pairs of socks in a paper collar box,
And the villain never harmed her.
She wore a pair of seal-skin jackets in her ears.
But the villain never harmed her;
She had just got them out, they were in pawn seven years.
And the villain never harmed her.
When he pealed off his ulster she was stuck on his shape,
This fascinating scoundrel thought he had charmed her;
She stabbed him in the eye with a huckleberry pie,
But the villain never harmed her.
She clasped to her breast her long lost child,
And the villain never harmed her;
'Twas a monkey disguised as Oscar Wild,
And the villain never harmed her.
She tried to blow him up with a bladder full of wind,
He anticipated her motive and disarmed her;
With a mouth full of gum she dared him to come,
But the villain never harmed her.
She was combing her teeth with a fine tooth clam,
And the villain be never harmed her;
He spit blue fire, but she didn't give a darn,
But the villain never harmed her.
With a big tin dagger that he bought for a cent,
His manner so exceedingly alarmed her;
But the son-of-a-gun he was only in fun,
And the villain never harmed her.
